Do you feel you are getting old?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 6 Mar 07

Let's be honest here. If you think you are getting old, wave both your hands madly in front of your screen. Did you just do what I said? If you did, you are indeed cranky. If you didn't, you are indeed old enough to be jaded. Got...

robi_717 Don't know my neighbors. Don't want to know them. Northerners mind their business. Southerners are basically nosy and do not appear to have a whole lot going on in their own lives hence what others are doing. In answer to your question. No and No.
